We're right around the corner from World of Warcraft's patch 6.1, which Blizzard just announced will launch next week. And with patch day right around the corner, there's only one question to ask: what are you most looking forward to in this patch?

Tis the season for holiday cheer: in World of Warcraft, we've just jumped from Love Is in the Air directly to the Lunar Festival. Combine that with Blackrock Foundry LFR opening this week, and players will find no shortage of tasks for their virtual to-do lists.

World of Warcraft's Lunar Festival comes around every February, roughly mirroring Chinese New Year with Asian-themed toys and gear to collect as you trek across Azeroth to pay respect to the festival elders scattered across the world. We'll help you get started.

Blackrock Foundry normal and heroic modes have been live since early this month, and mythic opened just this week — so now that many players have had a chance to jump in, let's talk about our raiding success (or lack thereof).

Whether you love or hate PvP, Carbot understands your woes, and the latest episode of WowCraft shows us how to cope — or maybe how not to cope — with corpse campers when you're just trying to mine an ore node.

Season 2 has arrived in Diablo 3, which means it's time to roll a brand-new character and get to leveling so you can climb the seasonal leaderboards. If you've been away from the game for a while, seasons are designed to lure you back in, offering a fresh start and a chance to earn for season-specific loot and achievements. Are the new toys of season 2 enough to get you back into the game?

Another day, another set of updates to the patch notes for the patch 6.1 PTR. Tonight's patch notes, which are likely closing in on their final iteration ,include a number of class balance tweaks, so you'll want to read carefully to see just what's in store for your character come 6.1.

Sure, Love Is in the Air in WoW right now, but it's almost Valentine's Day in the non-virtual world, too. That means flowers, chocolate, and, of course, Valentine's Day wishes. Our favorite Valentines, however, are unapologetically geek and gaming-themed.

It's official: Twitter is coming to the World of Warcraft in patch 6.1. But will we all be using it? After a decade of using World of Warcraft completely Twitter free... we've got to wonder if we really need social media seeping into our favored form of escapism.

As with all things Blizzard, we don't have a release date, but we do know that NECA is going to be rolling out a line of Heroes of the Storm action figures.
